4: Don’t think you must get the iPhone Pro or Pro max to enjoy better camera:

All the new iPhone models come with improved camera capabilities than the iPhone 12.

Although Apple boasted more about the cameras on the pro and pro max, saying they are awesome.

However, the cameras on the normal 13 and 13 mini have brand new sensor chip technology, with f/1.6. aperture.

They also have 47 % more light-gathering, 26 mm focal length, 7 element lens and 100% Focus Pixels.

5: Don’t think you must get the iPhone 13 Pro or Pro max to enjoy Cinematic mode:

You must know that all the latest models come with the cinematic mode.

So, regardless of any 13 models you buy, you will enjoy cool and awesome video effect.

6: 120 Hz Refresh rate display upgrades on iPhone 13 pro and pro max are not necessary if:

You may be saying that the 120 Hz refresh rate display upgrade on the pro and pro max are cool.

Yes, they are. But of what use are they to you if you don’t do serious photo editing?

Also, why get a pro or pro max if you don’t do graphics designing or video editing effects?

If you don’t also watch high definition videos or intense 3D games, then you don’t need 120Hz device.

Instead, a 60Hz refresh rate on the normal or mini versions will give you all you need.

It will also save you a lot of cash rather than going for the 13 pro or pro max.

7: Don’t think you will buy you brand new iPhone 13 with a charger:

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that any of the iPhone 13 comes with its charger.

Nope! You will have to buy a brand new charger for your new phone because they come without one.

So, don’t go fighting the vendor to give you a charger without paying for it.
